Exclusive: Dr. . Ben Carson tells why He Declined Trump Cabinet Post
EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Ben Carson opens up with Dr. Pat Robertson about declining President-elect Donald J. Trump's cabinet post.
Ben Carson, a staunch supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, is opening up about his decision to take his name off the list for serving as a possible cabinet member in The White House.
The news may come as a surprise to many after Carson was seen campaigning for Trump at events and appearing on numerous television outlets speaking up for him.
"The way I'm leaning is to work from the outside and not from the inside," Carson said in a Nov. 15 interview with The Washington Post. "I want to have the freedom to work on many issues and not be pigeonholed into one particular area."
"I've said that if it came to a point where he absolutely needs me, I'd reconsider. But I don't think that's the situation with these positions," he said. "My view is that if some people and the media are going to hate him, then he's going to need allies on the outside to be there, to be there to move the country forward. I don't care about a position.'
Carson calls himself a "fish out of water" when it comes to being a federal bureaucrat. http://go.cbn.com/14562

So do I. I also believe he saw some things he don't like and doesn't want to get caught up in it later on down the line. He'll be a great asset in an advisory position or the head of a department where he doesn't have to answer to anyone but the President.
